About the Book
Life Before Man is a tragicomic exploration of love, loss, and the tangled paths people take as they try to move on after death. Elizabeth, the protagonist, is reeling from the recent suicide of her lover while grappling with her tumultuous marriage to Nate, who is preparing to leave her for Lesje. Yet, Lesje, a woman more captivated by dinosaurs than by men, has her own set of complicated emotions to navigate.
The novel weaves a compelling tale of three individuals who are each imprisoned by their own personal struggles and desires. As their lives collide under the shadow of Elizabeth's deceased lover, they embark on a path that will lead them to a single, tragicomic climax. Atwood’s signature blend of tenderness, humor, and profound insight into human relationships makes this novel a poignant and absorbing read. Life Before Man is a liberating novel that uncovers the complexities of love and the unpredictable nature of human connection.
